Executive Summary
China's Mindray Medical saw its profits hit by income tax and interest expenses in the third fiscal quarter, resulting in net income declining 4% year-on-year to $35.8 million. Moreover, growth in operating income was also modest (+1% at $39.1 million) due to significantly higher sales expenditure (+16%) and general and administrative costs (+64%). R&D costs also increased by 20%, but as a proportion of revenue, this was kept at a similar level of 9% compared with the same period last year.
